Moderated by Film Fatales member Magdalena Albizu from NubianLatina Productions. \nWe’re in shock\, we’re overwhelmed\, we’re grieving\, we’re frightened. Whether you’ve been impacted directly\, are providing mutual aid\, or are witnessing from afar\, the Los Angeles fires have taken a huge toll on mental wellness. Joined by licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Annalise Ophelian they offered a series of guided somatic exercises to help you cope with stress and overwhelming emotions brought on by recent events. Together we gained an understanding into how our nervous systems react to emergency situations\, and practiced breath work\, body movement\, and other tools designed to help us calm and soothe ourselves during unstable times. \nWe invited those displaced by the Los Angeles fires to join us however they can – this presentation is offered over zoom and was accessible to those calling in to listen to audio only\, and a full transcript and recording is available following the workshop. While this guided somatic webinar has been developed for Film Fatales members in Los Angeles\, all are welcome to rewatch. \nAccessibility Notes: This online workshop will be accessible with auto captions and ASL upon request.
